I wish you the best with your test and I like your attitude. Hope you can relax about everything especially the waiting period.

People fail to test for different reasons. A person like you saying what you are saying is making a difference.

All the best

Hello to both of you!
I dragged myself to a clinic almost 2 weeks ago to get myself tested. I was supposed to get the result last week but the doctor was out of town and she only comes to the clinic every Friday and Saturday. So my waiting time is extended to another week!

It is one of the most difficult things I've ever been through in my life! (waiting for the result). I've been so paranoid, sleepless, stressed... But I believe I did the right thing. If the result comes back positive, I know it's going to be difficult and might turn my life upside down (for a while). But like what you guys said, its not a death sentence! I know I'll be able to accept it.

I've been reading your forum (homer, mson, bobbie). Im on page 9 and 30 more pages to go and still adding! and I'm thankful to have discovered this forum because you guys are giving me the courage to face the fact and deal with it. You guys are very helpful, your words are very empowering.

I'll join your forum probably after I've finished reading atleast the 20th page!
I'll let you know about my result and will post it here.

Thank you and god bless you all!

I am sorry to hear that your test results are being delayed longer than expected. Hang in there my dear. You will know the answer soon. They already have the answer just that you don't know the answer. Worrying about it is not going to help. Keep busy with other things. Your hobbies for example. You have waited this long you can wait a little longer. I know that sounds harsh but it is the reality.

In countries that have medication and good doctors to follow up, this is not a death sentence and it can be in some countries. I was very fortunate to come from Kenya to Canada and get treatment. It is God's favour I tell ya.

Let us know how your test results turn out. I am wishing you all the best and I commend and praise you for having the courage to go for the test. And the courage to empower yourself with what is available.

Thanks for reading our topic. It is quite a bit of reading for we write passionately. You can join any time. I quoted this post of yours in there so that Homerx and Bobbie can read it. Thanks for your compliments. It is people like you that give us the determination to carry on.

May God bless you too.

Always

I tried to go to the clinic to get tested but I couldn't find the place. I am an American living in Japan right now and barely knowing Japanese doesn't help. I think i've found the place on Google Earth but Osaka is such a huge and confusing place. I'll try again next weekend but let me tell u, with this fever i've been having, I have never been so petrified in my entire life.
